Our society has become sedentary thanks to technology, desk jobs, and long commutes to and from work. That means all of us could move more and get more exercise in to become more active and keep those pounds off. There are many ways that you can add more exercise to your life even though you already feel overwhelmed by all that you do: Prioritize your health as part of a move more mindset. Everyone puts this at the bottom of their list when, in reality, it should be first because, without your health, you won’t be able to do everything else. You may find yourself with illnesses or health problems that stop all those other things you put first. This mindset will help you to mentally always make time for exercise. Use your lunch and coffee breaks at work to get in a quick walk and run up and down those stairs (if you have them). The misconception is that you need to find an hour each day when, in reality, you could just break down that exercise time into available increments. Turn off the television and other electronics at least two times a week (even more is better!) and [...]

Sports-Specific Personal Training Addresses Unique Sports Requirements

While we offer personal training for anyone who wants to get in shape, work on their strength, or add definition, we also provide sports-specific personal training for a wide range of sports, including baseball, football, basketball, lacrosse, swimming and more. You may wonder why you would add sports-specific personal training when you make it to every practice and the coach has you doing all types of exercises and plays. Although that is very necessary to helping you do well, many athletes have discovered that the additional training they get from this experience significantly enhances their overall performance. The individual sports-specific personal training programs we put together for you reflects what you will be doing in that sport. For example, if you are a soccer player or football player, we will incorporate a lot of sprinting, twisting, and running not to mention sidestepping. If you are a swimmer, then we would focus on endurance and a greater focus on back, shoulder, and arm muscles. Other sports may require exercises that generate explosive power while still others require greater flexibility and speed or a combination of skills. When looking for a personal trainer that offers sports-specific training, it’s important to find one [...]

Why Try a Free Personal Training Session Besides the Fact That It’s Free?

You may have been a member of a gym in the past where, when you signed up, they gave you a free personal training session. You may have at first been excited because it was something free but then you realized it was really just an excuse to give you a sales pitch about the gym’s personal training session. Before you know it, you found yourself signing up for a year’s worth of personal training sessions that you didn’t actually need. We don’t want you to think the one-hour complimentary personal training session we provide is intended to be a sales pitch. While we want to help you make the most of the benefits that come from working with a personal trainer, it’s not about making a sale for us when we spend this hour with you. That’s why our free sessions are a little bit different. During the one-hour session, we listen to you, your needs, and discuss what you want to achieve by coming to a gym. For some, it’s losing weight while others are seeking to build up their strength or get ready for an upcoming season of sports. From there, we show you the type of [...]

A sedentary life can basically send you to an early grave, according to statistics gathered by the NCHPAD. Here are some of the startling reasons you need to get up from that desk job, that commute, and that sofa and start moving with regular exercise and assistance from a personal trainer: Physically inactive people have an increased risk of colon and breast cancer. Regular physical activity helps reduce the risk of cognitive decline. People who are sedentary have the highest rate of having a heart attack. Data from the Aerobics Research Center in Dallas, Texas found that physically active men lowered their risk of stroke by two-thirds while a Nurses' Health Study concluded that physically active women decreased their risk of stroke by 50%. Lack of physical activity increases the loss of lean muscle tissue and speeds up bone loss. People who don't regularly exercise are more likely to gain excess weight. One study showed that an hour of walking daily cut the risk of obesity by 24%. Those who get regular physical activity have a more efficient immune system, which helps protect them further from the risk of various disease and illnesses like colds and the flu. This list [...]
